Mel Bay Classic Chicago Blues Harp #2 Level 3 (Blues Harmonica Lesson Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have bought beginning harmonica books and watch harp players on you tube for the last 3 years. One of the instructors on you tube recommended Dave's website and he had all of his books online to review. He even has short audio files to listen to before you make a decision to buy. I recommend all of his books. It is like having a music instructor. If you wants to know all of the ins and outs of reading music, learning rhythm, and all of the playing techniques these books are for you. Keep in mind that Dave has 3 levels, so you will need to buy all of his series to progress. Amazon did a great job, they shipped quicker than advertised, they got the order right, and I will buy from them in the future.

Basic Blues Harmonica Method is geared toward getting you playing blues harmonica as fast as possible. The songs and exercises have been designed to get you comfortable with moving around the instrument and allow you to take full advantage of the great sounding patterns available on your harmonica, without first having to learn advanced techniques such as bending. The basic techniques covered are single hole embouchure, tongue block embouchure and octaves. You'll be able to achieve that bluesy feel, without bending notes, by learning how to play in 3rd position. You'll also learn single note patterns and rhythms that will help you develop your motor skills and tone. This book is packed with song examples that sound great, even at this beginning stage.

JAM TRAX FOR HARMONICA Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you haven't had the chance to play togheter with other people this could give you a clue what it's like. You get a cd with comp that you can play along with and a musicbook with harmonica notation that shows how the songs are built and examples of how you can play. There are slow blues, faster blues, rock etc and they are played in different keys so you need moore than one harmonica if you should be able to play them all(except if you play the chromatic harmonica). Some of the playing examples where good but I learned most from playing togheter with the Cd where I learned how and when bluessongs changes keys within the song. This book/Cd showed me that you don't have to play many notes just to sound good - it even sounds good if you just play the keynotes togheter with Ralph Agresta and his band.

Mel Bay Blues Harmonica Jam Tracks & Soloing Concepts #1 Book/CD Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Soloing concepts starts off pretty easy hitting alot of familiar riffs. David Barrett has done a fabulas job making a beginner book and CD set easy enough to follow along with, but challenging enough that you are trying to progress yourself. You will not be completed with this book in a week. Which is a good thing...
